Nathan helped me to get our pictures in order, but now I can't figure how to attach them to the listings on E-Bay. I get "Attach images manually" and then paste something to an HTML web page for item description. I don't understand any of that. Also, we have 82 pages of pictures and I can't figure out how to get to any center pages directly - just the first and last or one in each direction. Please help. Thanks Ed and Karen. Also, is this new system real slow?

Hello Ed and Karen,
I apologize for the confusion. The functionality that the older version of Vendio provided for auto-attaching images to live listings is unfortunately no longer available due to limited usage, however, you CAN still attach images to your listings by taking the below steps:
1. Log in to your Vendio account.
2. Click on the Images tab
3. Place a checkmark next to the image you wish to attach, and click the "Attach" button.
4. You will be presented with a pop-up that will allow you to select the size of the Image. Below that will be the code that you will need to enter into your eBay Item Description to apply the Image to the live listing, copy that code.
5. Log in to your eBay account, access the listing you wish to add the Image to, click the Revise button, and paste the code the bottom of your Item Description (be sure to have the Item Description set to HTML mode.)
In order to go to a specific page of your images, please enter the page number into the box at the top right of your list of images. Then click the enter key. Please let us know should you continue to have trouble with this.

Hi Nathan,
I'm not very computer smart. Ed and I could have worked together on this but he is in a rehabilitation center right now with a terrible stroke which has left him paralyzed on the right and unable to speak. I am trying to keep our E-Bay going because it subsidizes our Social Security, and also help him with his rehabilitation and eat two meals with him. I'm very frazzled so please have a little patience with my stupidity.
Can I add more than one image at a time?
Where below the description do I enter the code?
I don't understand what HTML is.
Is there an easier way since this way is not used very often. Or, can I talk on the phone with someone who can help me through this? Thank you very much for all your help, Ed and Karen

Hello,
I just left you a voicemail message about this as well....
Sorry to hear of the home issues your working with right now, it's never an easy transition. I am dealing with the exact same situation with my mother in law currently and every day there are new highs and lows to be dealt with.
When you are on your images page you can put a check mark beside as many images as you wish before going to attach them. You do not have to attach only one image at a time.
When you revise your listing at eBay and are in "HTML mode" - paste your code anywhere you want to below the description. The images will then show up just below your description as it appears currently.
Just be sure to preview your first one before you save the change, to be sure it looks OK. If you see a bunch of jibberish, this is the HTML code itself. If you see the HTML code and not the pictures when you preview, then you weren't in "HTML mode" when you edited your description.
HTML is just what that code you copy and paste is called. It's what tells a web page what to display and how to display it.
This is unfortunately the only method we have available now for attaching images to existing listings. It's tricky at first because it's a new process, but it's not too bad once you've done it a few times. Feel free to call me back at the number I left on your voicemail if you would like me to guide you through the process.
